Don't know. Try downloading with web browser to same location to see what happens. If it works with your PC looks like some kind of issue with the Mac. If you're using wireless networking then try hard wiring instead.

1. I have 26 GB available
2. firewall is set to allow all incoming connections
3. 1 out of 15 times it works for no reason that I can tell
4. I know that when the status meter was silver in color it worked and other times it is blue in color (dont remember if it ever worked when blue, whats the difference?

If you have combined download/decrypt option enabled then turn that off. Also make sure you don't have TS downloads turned on since tivodecode doesn't work properly for TS downloads. Unless you post full commands being run and error messages to get a better idea of exactly how you're downloading it's hard to keep guessing what may help.

Have now also tried to download various videos through web interface. Seems to also stop/time out about 2/3 of the way in. Hopefully this can help pinpoint the problem

If the same show downloads fine to a PC then the problem is with your Mac networking. If it also fails to download to PC then I would suspect a glitch in recording is the problem. However you gave impression that most downloads for a bunch of shows are failing and if that is the case then I would suspect a network problem, especially if wireless is in the picture.

Problem with remote access to season passes? Not sure if this is a kmttg issue, my config file or maybe my router.

I have my router set up to forward ports to both of my TiVos (using separate remote ports of course). Everything works right until I try and access the season passes for each TiVo via the remote tab. The season passes for one of the tivo's works fine, the other responds with the firsts season passes (i.ee the request for both go to the same tivo). The config file (with the remote ip address masked is:

The http & https ports are for the "Now Playing Lists". The ipad port is for Remote functions (including Season Passes).
So you should also have 2 different entries port forwarding to port 1413 of respective TiVos by your router:
<wan_RemotePremiere1_ipad>
xxxxx

<wan_RemoteDVR-F552_ipad>
yyyyy

If 1 is working then my guess is you either are using the same WAN port specification for both or your router is setup to forward to the same TiVo port 1413.

I noticed there are times I initially see a weird episode number like E168. then after a while I notice it's changed to S1 E13 for example. What makes the season and episode correct itself and is there a way I can force that to happen sooner? I like having the correct number since it makes filing them a whole lot easier.

The Auto Transfer | Configure tool is great. However, I've noticed over the past couple of releases that there is a problem. The Update, and Del buttons appear to affect the item one index position off from the selected item. For example, if I select the second item in the list and then click "Del", it removes the third item in the list. If I select the Nth item in the list and set it for a specific Tivo in the house and click the "Update" button, it overwrites the Nth+1 item in the list.

Seems to be working correctly for me (and the auto transfers GUI hasn't been updated for a long time now). Perhaps check and/or post your auto.ini file contents as maybe there's something not right there?

When you refresh listings you 1st get local XML guide data downloaded after which kmttg gets listings via RPC used for Remote purposes. The RPC data is usually more accurate/complete and that's why you are seeing it update to correct value when the "remote" task completes.

Anyway to tell when that second gathering of data is complete or how to force it to happen sooner than later? I would like to wait until it's done before starting my jobs.

I've been seeing VideoRedo hang at 100% complete for a while on some shows. Lately, it is all the time. I actually sent a support request into VRD and they had me download some programs from TivoDesktop. Then run them through my profile filter manually in VRD. I tried 2 shows that hung in KMTTG and they both worked in both formats.

So, I started wondering what I changed, and it was combine the download/decode steps. Actually, the log was sent to VRD support and they said the video file format (that was processed during the log I sent them), of the input file (d/l using kmttg) was 'looking weird'.

So they told me to report this occurrence to the author of KMTTG. So I am

I am not sure, at this point, that the combined d/l and decode step is what did it, but I did take another dl using kmttg in .tivo mode and ran that through VRD and it did not stall or hang, while the mpg created by d/l and decode in one step hangs.

They said next step is to d/l directly from tivo as both ps and tivo files, and run them through VRD. I will attempt that tonight

The main thing is that a Mini shouldn't have its own tab for Now Playing list in the GUI, and Mini is ignored by Batch and Auto Transfers mode when processing shows and for Auto Conflicts resolver. For "Remote" tabs you can choose whether to show the Mini or not via the config Tivos tab iPad setting.
Also when kmttg retrieves consolidated ToDo lists it will only do so for non Mini units.

"Season Premieres" tab only uses the currently selected TiVo so if you're seeing duplicated entries in there it's not because of the Mini. As a test of that disable Mini from "Remote" tab and run "Season Premieres" again. I do get some duplicated entries myself once in a while, but it's not every entry and don't know what the pattern is but it's based on what RPC search is returning.

FYI, this weekend running "Season Premieres" I was seeing a lot of duplicate entries coming from Roamio Pro listings so I went ahead and added code to make sure only unique entries are now listed which will be part of next release.

I have the same problem with downloading programs. I tried this. I watched the show around where the down load ended at. At that point I got a lot of micro blocking. It could be what ThAbtO said. It could be a glitch.

Yes, unfortunately if there is a glitch in the recording, the download stops. Nobody knows any way to get past this. If you have a pre-Premiere level Tivo, and can do transfers to it (they don't work for me between my TivoHD & Premiere 4), you MAY be able to then do a partial transfer to computer 'from paused point' after the glitch.
